i'm actually not aware of many / any? package that use the printf style approach! (i could be wrong, but i suspect its not widely used?)
I've done a crude check to see how many latest-version packages on Hackage have .*hs files matching containing the string "Text.Printf": http://lpaste.net/92876 It's still 599 packages that are probably affected by base losing its `Text.Printf` :-/ Maybe we could just deprecated Text.Printf for GHC 7.8, and remove in 7.10 (which may address the big base-split)
